In case you cannot tell it is a white screen with the original black back(I dont like the silver one) and a white battery cover.

I don't like the silver either, but that's too much black looks good tho

Sorry the pictures are crappy they were taken with an Epic with no flash.

The black & white one is sick!!!! Time to start watching ebay for a parts phone I guess.

Hehe so much for waiting 60 days from release to start harvesting
Just teasing...i actually did the same thing yesterday i rocked the all white for a while, but the two-tone is just too cool. I'm a ska-head too, so two-tone fits lol. Now if only i had a checkerboard battery cover....
Also, i asked my SRSS, and he confirmed that since it's a new SKU, the 60 day rule applies...and then proceeded to inform me that so long as we got the return box sealed on Sunday, auditors won't be able to see it on Monday lol.

Yeah I actually used my black screen on a customer's phone that had a non working lcd.

Panda is too cute.
How 'bout Samsung Galaxy Epic 4G Touch "Tux Edition"? Yes, No Maybe...

so the the white battery cover smooth or like the black one?

How would I go about replacing the screen?

are you asking where to get a screen, or how to replace the screen?
As far as where, you'll have to do some searching around. Sprint techs like us have the luxury of harvesting screens off returned phones (normally used for repairs)...but epic screens are generally so far and few between i doubt you'd find a tech willing to sell one to you.
If you're asking how, that's easy. Unscrew the six screws underneath the battery cover. Then using a really thin piece of plastic or even your fingernails, begin to pry the area where the bezel meets the glass down both sides and the top (the bezel-back-frame almost fits like a cap on the screen). Then just lift the bezel-frame from the screen in an out then down motion (basically, the top separates first, then you'll have to go down and out to get the bottom part off; you don't want to pry the bottom part straight out so as not to damage the charging port). During this, you'll likely see your headset jack move with the frame, that's ok because it moves pretty freely inside.
Once inside, you'll see two flat Phillips head screws, unscrew those. You won't need to unscrew the third tiny one in the upper right hand corner. There are several cables (3 or 4) that are plugged into ports, just unplug them, nothing fancy. Just make sure you look closely so you don't miss one. Then, the motherboard (which is roughly shaped like an "L" ) just lifts up. Reverse directions to put in a new screen. Easy squeezy lemon Japanesey.

You'll have to wait until someone sells a screen on eBay, we (sprint) can't sell you one

Might be easier to just mask off the phone & paint it to your liking.

its smooth.
also, the tech at my store is planning on getting the white E4GT, removing the gray, and painting it (he hasnt decided on red or blue). depending on how that goes, i may be doing the same. a nice candy apple red with some metal flake in place of the gray would be gorgeous IMO. i think the gray looks like cheap, crappy plastic
EDIT: ill post back with pictures once he's done, and if i do mine

If painting your phone makes you wary or one lacks skills to attempt such a task I believe you can also purchase self adhesive colored skins as well.

[MOD] Carbon Fiber battery cover

MY VERY FIRST OP
Just thought i would share this with the community. It's called high performance carbon fiber vinyl. The great thing is that it does not leave any adhesive residue. I just slowly, carefully tailored it with a razor blade on top of the original battery cover. A blow dryer made the vinyl much more "compliant" and flexible. Hope you like it. I'm trying to do it with white carbon fiber vinyl next. Please let me know what you think...

I actually still have some from when I tried this on my vibrant. Didn't work out well then based that battery door was so oddly shaped. May go either this a shot. Keep us updated on how well it lasts.

If you're using the 3m di-noc variant, it's practically bulletproof. The 3m material isn't even vinyl, it's pvc, which is why it's so damn durable. I wouldn't hesitate putting it on anything I want to keep looking nice. The look isn't for everyone though. And depending on how tight/small the corners need to be, it might not be a good fit.
Because the battery cover of the t989 is textured, the vinyl does not stick very well. like I previously mentioned, I used a blow dryer to make it stick much much better. I also have it in a clear hard/soft silicone gel skin so it should last pretty much forever.
Also if you like this mod or it inspired you to try something similar please hit the thank you button...

that looks legit!
White CF would look nice.
I will be ordering the white soon... kinda expensive... but when I am done I will show it to you...
Actually I plan on doing a white conversion for my wife... I am looking into purchasing the equipment to cut the skin for the face... I will report back soon...
For the Vibrant i know they had a white sticker you could put on the front. Sounds cheap i know but it looked pretty slick. The only thing i noticed was a small ridge around the face of the phone however that was kinda nice also for operating the phone without looking.

Thing is that this is only a sticker and unless you can get the sticker to fold under the edge of the battery cover and have the battery cover sit properly.. the stick will just peel up.
I made one as well, if anyone is interested let me know. Came out pretty well.

Not really... When this stuff sticks it aiint going no where (if applied properly.) Unlike stickers that wear and tear with time. This stuff is harder to remove with time... and it's not just a sticker... this is almost indestructible PVC...

Black to White case

hello guys,
I just bought a S2 recently and its the black one (got it off craigslist) and i was wondering. is there anyway I can make it white? (like the one on sprint.com 's homepage). I love the white one and would love to have my phone white.. is there a way to do it and is it worth it?.. thanks!
I dont think they sell any colored shell or battery door replacement sets like they do for iphone 4 to customize the phone unless you wanna go Oreo and order a white battery door

love it . thanks man! is it just a "screen protector" pretty much? and do you think it'll last a while?
That's awesome looking, I am going to order a black and a white version and see what it looks like... I can't decide whether to go with matte or glossy though.... the matte looks pretty cool so I think I will go with that
Are the cutouts on the capacative buttons noticeable when the decal is over them because I don't intend to take them off...
What launcher did you say this was?? i.imgur.com/Zcf6f.jpg
Yes in regards to your question about the shell of the phone. I have mind with a White screen, black back housing with White battery door... I call mine the Kung Fu Panda s2..I will attach a link for pictures of my device...

you'd have to be actively looking for the cutouts in order to see them, and the tinted glow through the decal looks pretty cool

it'll basically protect from little scratches here and there, it's mainly for cosmetic purposes
it feels like it's gonna last awhile, i tested it going in and out of my tpu cases and "naked" in and out of my pocket
pretty good for 10 bucks
and here's a little tip, heat the edges with a blow dryer(or any fan blowing heat)
it helps to give the edges a better seal

Finding the OEM parts, though not the easiest of things, is by far easier then having to tear down the device and install the needed pieces.
So if your not up to or technically inclined to perform such a task, then one is probably better off approaching a less invasive procedure.
The battery door is no problem, it's the front screen portion that takes a lot of careful work.
Looks like someone is selling the back cover and battery cover, not the face plate though. Could make for a nice combo look, priced right

using the silver bezel with the black phone comes out nicer than mixing the black with the white IMO

Recently converted my black e4gt to a panda-esque; black face, white back with the white e4gt's silver edge.
Fyi, silver from the white version with black face and black battery cover is cool too...

I wouldn't get rid of the white phone just because of that. Keep it dude. The white IMO looks way sexier then the black one. When you look at a black GS2 from far away it looks like a normal phone, some even think its a regular gs1 or gs1 4g. whereas when people see the white gs2 they actually ask what phone it is and it looks nice etc...
Also it looks really cool at night (the backlight leaks more in the white)
The shiny portions are determined to come off. you can't do nothing about it. Unless you get those rubber gel cases.

Glad you chose to stick w the white one. Good choice!
I'll see if the coating on the silver bar comes off and exposes a shiny silver instead.
Believe it or not my previous device had similar material in the battery door and that thing scratched like a cat was going at it. So I decided to scratch the coating off w my nails at work one day took me an hour or two but bam it revealed a shiny back door that doubled as a mirror!

White Galaxy Nexus Housing Installed [VERIZON]

Be prepared to hate me. It took quite a bit of modification and I do not recommend anyone to do it because its a pain in the ass and its better just to wait for the real Verizon housing to come out. I used to GSM white housing and modified it to fit, for the most part at least.
I also had to use a ****ty webcam because that's all I had to work with that can take pictures in my apartment. You can see that I was trying to hide behind the phone.

Yes, what was once a nice looking piece of plastic is now a mangled mess on the inside. But of course the battery door covers it all up. If this thing gets in water there is no saving it. I had to do a LOT of cutting and shaving and grinding.

Granted it does look good on the outside, next time I would just spray paint the original chassis white or just wait.
You should totally mod it to fit and send the housing to me for me to put on. Ill pay ya ;D

there is STILL no white VZW case, If the OP is still around can you post more pictures of your chop job?
as far as i can tell the only part that fits awkwardly is the side lines? where the glass is exposed?
i want to find a decent way to mod a vzw galaxy nexus into white

Who is going to be the first to try NeverWet on their phone?

There is a new product on the market, sold at Home Depot, called NeverWet that promises to make everything waterproof. Check out the video and towards the end they waterproof an iPhone. This looks like some pretty amazing stuff!

Looks awesome. Just don't know if I'm willing to try it on my $800 Note II. Luckily I have a old E4GT that I don't care about. And its in stock and & only $20 at my local Home Depot. Will post back with my results.

Just got this amazing stuff today! Tried it with shirt first, its drying right now. I'm going to try my shirt first then my shoes and then a couple of old cellphones before my G2x and finally if i see enough i will attempt the Galaxy S4. This is soo much cheaper than liquipel.
Looks like some crazy stuff. I saw their video on the Chive a week or two ago.

I just tried this on my LG G2x and i can confirm it work. I dod not submerge my phone in water, i just splashed the circuit board with some water. You have to completly coat the parts you dont want water to get to. Best way is to create a seal so that water wont get to parts where you dont want water to get to and cat neverwet it.
I can confirm that NeverWet does NOT conduct electricity. I sprayed the battery contacts and i had to scratch the NeverWet off with a knife. My phone would not turn on with the NeverWet coating on the battery contacts.
The thing I want the most from next generation of phones is for them to just be tougher. I want them water proof (liquipel pretreated) , shatterproof (flexible displays) , and power strong (next gen lithium ion batteries).
This definitely looks awesome. I think I am going to test it on my back cover of my note 2. To make sure it doesn't affect the paint or anything. I can always get another back. Can't wait to try it. May post a review on here or probably a video. I will also try it on my seidio surface case. Too bad can't do it in the screen or front of phone. Probably no point in doing it to the back in that case. I guess we'll see

I wouldn't... The stuff does not dry transparent from what I've read. If it isn't transparent enough for car windshields, color me a skeptic at it looking good on a smartphone

want to try this so bad, just not a fan of dissecting my phone into pieces, wish we could just do the exterior and protect it from getting into the inside of the phone, going to buy this stuff tonight and use on my shoes and stuff, and maybe one daring day ill do it on an older phone i dont care too much about anymore.
plan on using it to protect my shoes during the warrior dash.
Interesting the video shows a phone but the instructions in the package state NOT to use on electronics.

Its probably due to what the other user stated that it doesnt conduct electricity.

I was thinking the same thing. I have an old 4G EVO as well and it should be put to good use.
After reading more info on this I will not be trying on my phone. I'll stick to using this on other items though. But if anyone uses it on their phone definitely post it here. It's still a cool product. This would be awesome on a tent or umbrella.

Just got this and some Duster spray. For 28.35 from the local home Depot.
Hope it works. I've been doubtful but now I got the supplies so I must complete this project.
I want water proof ness so I can play under water.
I took apart my gn2 once before to reassemble the power button
so I'm not too scared but I am a little nervous.
Pray for me guys.
Be careful, never wet is known not to be very permanent. It scratches off easily.

Tried this stuff on my shoes and a shirt and a plunger before id mess with on my device happy I did so.. didnt work on shirt like on the ads. Shoes only worked on one of them...plunger worked good. Not to everyone and else not sure if its said in any ads but I dont believe it protects against running water but it seems to work best in water thats standing still like puddles and what not.

I bought some from home depot last week put it on my work boots. I paint traffic controll markings and the neverwet doesnt even repel our water base paint we use, sticks right to it. Also it rubbed off in about a day or two. I tried putting it on my seidio active case and it dried frosted looking and almost white in some spots and it wore off in about 5 minutes, from taking it in and out of my pocket. I would definitely not try it on my phone it might work a little while but I wouldnt trust it. I would only buy it to mess around with it has almost no real practical use cause it rubs off so easy.
I have an old EVO 4G I could try it on. Will report back.
For all those times I talk underwater or in rain storms...oh wait
